peteretep Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 hey man how much did it cost total for your engine bay to get sanded back down and repainted? and where did you get it painted and would you recommend them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 sandblast and the bare metal primer was 60 bucks Painting was 500 for the front end INC my subframe, Done at Spraytech panel and paint (in manukau), if you have watched ImportX lately and seen their Nissan navara Ute they're building, the paint was done by spraytech, The TV doesnt do the paint justice was so deep it almost felt like i could reach into it. They did a good job with the paint, there very skilled and matched it pretty much perfect. but i must admit i thaught they might have over charged me a little considering alot of the prep was done for them.

thminiman Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 decided id get the hi-lows, just need to get the money together, will try pay at same time as getting the diff parts = 385bucks that i dont have yet = problem. the hi-lows will be SO mint tho, have wanted them since ages. yes im a dumbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 ^ yuh they're fun. make sure your shocks aren't some gay aftermarket replacements that are slightly longer than stock, esp on the rear. sucks when you can't get them so low that the wheels wont turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
